We will be teachable when we are reachable. We have to give ourselves over to the Lord and be submissive to His will for our lives. We cannot come to God with our plans in our hands and expect Him to bless them. When our hearts are fixed upon Him and His plans for our lives we will be reachable and teachable. David wrote in Psalm 25:1-5, “Unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me. Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause. Shew me thy ways, O Lord; teach me thy paths. Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; on thee do I wait all the day.” David did not lean on his own understanding. He had three requests of the Lord that made him reachable and teachable.
I. Show me- Thy Ways.
II. Teach me- Thy Paths.
III. Lead me- In Thy Truths.
David said, “O my God, I trust in thee.” And “On thee do I wait all the day.” David was trusting in and submissive to the Lord. We would do well to follow his example. There will be times in our lives when we will not understand the outcome or circumstances of various situations. I have known such times first hand. Our peace will be plentiful when we place our trust in the all-knowing God and lean upon Him and not our own finite understanding. Oh, to be clay in the masters hands and allow Him to guide, lead and direct in any way that He sees fit.
